MILIOTES EARNS MASTER SOMMELIER
George Miliotes, Director of Beverage & Hospitality at Seasons 52, passed the Court of Master Sommeliers’ Master Sommelier Exam, held March 17-22 in San Francisco. Having successfully completed the three-part exam, which included a blind tasting of six different wines, Miliotes joins the ranks of the 142 Master Sommeliers worldwide.
Miliotes began the certification process ten years ago, moving through three levels and a series of classes with rigorous examinations. The Master Sommelier diploma is the culmination of that process. The exam consists of three parts: restaurant services and salesmanship, sommelier knowledge and practical tasting. For the latter, candidates must accurately describe six wines in twenty-five minutes, including the grape variety, country of origin, district of origin and vintage of each.
